Genocides don’t just happen. The killers must think they
kill in self defense. Which is to say that the victims of an extermination
must first be perceived as a mortal danger. For this, a propaganda campaign
will be necessary. The propaganda that got between 5 and 6 million Jews
exterminated in WWII went by the name Protocols of The Learned Elders of
Zion. This series documents that this propaganda is once again being
energetically spread by the Western mass media, just as it was in the prelude
to WWII.

The next Catastrophe looms...________________________________________________________

Short Preface

How likely is a great anti-Jewish slaughter in the
twenty-first century?

To answer this question is to make a forecast. Any
kind of forecast requires the person making the prediction to evaluate
patterns in the past in order to guess about the future. Thus, in order to
get a feel for the likelihood of an anti-Jewish slaughter in the twenty-first
century we examine the past to see whether such an event would be surprising,
or else normal. As it turns out, it would be perfectly normal. For 2000 years
in the Western world it has been more common than not for a century to
contain at least one great anti-Jewish bloodletting. Unless otherwise
specified, the items in the following list -- which is not complete, but which
will suffice to make my point -- are culled from James Carroll's history of
Western antisemitism, entitled Constantine's Sword:

1st century - Genocide of
the Jews by the Romans (‘First Jewish War’)

2nd century - Genocide of the Jews by the Romans (‘Diaspora Revolt’
and ‘Second Jewish War’)

4th century - Following Emperor Constantine's Council of Nicaea (325),
all sorts of imperial measures against the Jews, special taxes, prohibition
on new synagogues, and prohibition of Christian-Jewish marriages.[00]

Church father Ambrose encourages burning of
synagogues so as to abolish Judaism.

5th century - Atacks against Jewish communities during Holy Week,
including the burning of synagogues.[00] A
great massacre of Jews in Alexandria.

[There is a relative pause in anti-Jewish attacks,
and relative tolerance toward Jews, due to the collapse of the political
structure of the Roman Empire. Once the German aristocracies that conquered
Europe converted to Catholicism, and the empire was reconstituted as the
Germanic Holy Roman Empire of the Middle Ages, the attacks are renewed.]

11th century - Crusaders
massacre Jewish communities in the Rhineland.

14th century - Black Plague is blamed on Jews. Perhaps three hundred
Jewish communities are wiped out. Jews in the Rhineland are exterminated.
Jews in Seville are massacred, followed by widespread pogroms in Iberia.

15th century - Spanish
inquisition. Many Jews are killed. More than 150,000 are expelled from Spain.

16th century - Inquisition becomes pan-European phenomenon.

17th century - Inquisition continues.

19th century - In 1827 the Russian Tsar began a process of
slow-genocide against the Eastern Jews, by forced conscription into the
Russian army for Jewish boys, starting at the age of eight. Somewhat
later the rate of conscription for some populations of Jews was raised to
5 times higher than what was applied to any other population, and
matching the rate of groups selected for special punishment. The terms of
service in the Russian army were 25 years.[0]

19th century - Widespread pogroms against the Eastern Jews in the
Russian Empire.[1]

20th century - Widespread pogroms against the Eastern Jews in the
Russian Empire, and then a genocide by the German Nazis all over Europe.

The twentieth century massacres, still fresh, were
especially bloody. One often hears the slogan “Never Again,” meaning never
again a Holocaustsuch as was carried out by the German Nazis. The
slogan is invoked almost as a magical incantation, as if its recitation had
the power to prevent the next antisemitic mass atrocity. It does not. If
practically every century there have been great massacres of Jews in the
Western world, then the least risky prediction that a historian can make for
the twenty-first century is that there will be another -- without even
looking at the evidence for current trends. The burden of proof is therefore
on those who believe this cannot happen again: they will have to document why
the world is now different.

This is a burden they cannot meet.

The hostile propaganda that got hundreds of
thousands of Jews persecuted and/or killed in Tsarist Russia, and then
between 5 and 6 million Jews exterminated in WWII, is once again being
energetically spread by the Western mass media. The result will be the same:
a great massacre of Jews. This piece will document what the mass media does
and how it prepares the ground for the next genocide, which is right around
the corner. Unless this is quickly understood by the millions of people who
will either kill, abet, or silently watch, the great Jewish Catastrophe of
our times will soon overtake us.

1. Introduction: The "Protocols
of Zion" in the broadest historical perspective.________________________________________________________

George Santayana famously said, “Those who cannot
remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” What he meant was that
problems have causes; if they are not examined, these causes cannot be
recognized when they return, and we must suffer their consequences all over
again. In the case of a disastrous, genocidal war, such as WWII, we are
talking about problems that really ought to be avoided. Best to pay close
attention to the causes, then.

So let us ask the question: What causes one people to
exterminate another?

I think the answer is simpler than the multitude of
hand-wringing disquisitions on the WWII massacres have led us to believe.
Yes, of course, many people follow orders without asking why, and so forth. But
still, extermination is the most extreme of all possible human behaviors;
people will not do it unless they think they are defending themselves.

So let us call that my hypothesis.

What my hypothesis predicts is that exterminations
will be preceded by massive propaganda efforts meant to convince large
segments of population A that population B represents a catastrophic and
imminent danger to population A, and hence must be destroyed -- in self
defense. Do we have evidence of such a massive propaganda effort prior to
WWII?

We do.

Around the turn of the twentieth century, the
Russian Tsar’s secret police, the Okhrana, produced a hoax that accused ‘the
Jews’ of controlling all of the governments of Europe, and the United States,
in addition to leading all the revolutionary movements, plus the capitalist
enterprises. The document was called The Protocols of the Learned Elders
of Zion, and it pretended to be the minutes of a secret meeting conducted
by a circle of super-powerful Jews who in secret controlled everything. These
supposed Jewish elders absurdly represented themselves as evil in the
document, and explained to each other how they were going to destroy ‘gentile
[read: Christian] civilization.’ They were just up to no good. In producing
this hoax, the Tsar’s people were trying to prevent the revolution that was
brewing by distracting the oppressed Russian masses with the danger that this
especially oppressed and destitute minority, ‘the Jews,’ supposedly
posed for everybody. The revolution was not averted, but the hoax of The
Protocols had for consequence a series of pogroms, which is to say
episodes of vandalizing and sacking of Jewish communities in the Russian
Empire, including widespread massacres that cost tens of thousands of Jewish
lives.[1a]

The Protocols subsequently
became a bestseller all over Europe and the United States, quite despite the
fact that in 1921 Phillip Graves from the Times of London published a
front-page demonstration that it was a cut-and-paste job from three works of
fiction, but especially from Maurice Joly’s Dialogues in Hell Between
Machiavelli and Montesquieu, a political analysis of Napoleon III’s
repressive regime that had absolutely nothing to do with Jews, one way or
another. In order to show this, Graves put excerpts from Joly’s Dialogues
in Hell and from The Protocols side by side so that readers of the
Times could see that they were practically identical.[2]To no avail. The Protocols continued to sell
madly all over the Western world thanks to the sponsorship of wealthy
antisemites such as Henry Ford and many others.[2a]
The anti-Jewish hysteria continued to grow, and when Adolf Hitler came to
power in Germany he made The Protocols required reading in German
schools.[3]In this way,
a large multitude of ordinary Westerners was made to believe that they were
in mortal danger from ‘the Jews’: the so-called ‘Jewish Peril.’

This fearful hysteria prepared the ground for
extermination.

Now, the various claims in The Protocols were
completely contradictory and each of them alone quite implausible: Why would
‘the Jews’ simultaneously act as one to promote capitalism and to destroy
it?; How could ‘the Jews’ control all the governments of Europe and the US
when they were the most oppressed population in the West, mostly dirt poor,
and many of them still semi-slaves?; Why would ‘the Jews’ allow themselves to
live in such extreme disadvantage if they were supposedly so powerful? And
once the killings started, another question was pertinent: Why weren’t ‘the
Jews’ using their supposedly enormous power to counter the savagery of the
Russian pogroms and of the Nazi Final Solution? But the targets of this
propaganda campaign -- ordinary gentiles -- for the most part did not stop to
ask these questions because they were heirs to a tradition going back
two-thousand years in which ‘the Jews’ had been demonized by Christian
religious authorities as powerfully ‘evil,’ and moreover out to get ‘the
Christians.’

Such accusations had produced many anti-Jewish
massacres in the past. Analyzing the full list given at the top would keep us
here too long, but the example of the fourteenth century is dramatic and
instructive, because it bears a very close structural similarity to the
Tsarist accusation: when 23 million europeans died in the Black Death of the
fourteenth century, an imaginary Jewish conspiracy was blamed for it all,
producing anti-Jewish slaughters in Europe and, in some places,
exterminations.

These days we know that the Black Death was a plague
epidemic originating probably in Central Asia which then spread to China,
India, Egypt, all of Asia Minor, and reached Europe by 1346 or so. But the
mediaeval Europeans didn’t know that. All they knew was that everybody was
dying around them, and that they hated the Jews. So a rumor was circulated
that all this dying originated in a Jewish scheme to poison the European
drinking wells. As James Carroll explains in his history of Western antisemitism:

“. .
.survivors in the cities [devastated by the plague] thought they knew the
cause: a well-poisoning conspiracy of Jews. . . A masterly rumor identified a
native of Toledo, one Jacob Pascal, whose name suggested Passover, as the
initiator of the plot. A cabal (a word we have from ‘Kabbalah’) of Iberian
Jews was the supplier of poison to Jewish agents elsewhere in Europe -- a
first international conspiracy. Jews in Geneva, under torture, confessed that
the rumor was true, which was all it took. As had been the case during the
Crusades, the first major conflagration of anti-Jewish violence took place in
the Rhineland, where Jews were slaughtered in large numbers. One chronicler
reported that twelve thousand were put to death in Mainz -- an echo of [the
Crusade of] 1096. . . .‘By the time the plague had passed,’ [historian]
Barbara Tuchman observed, ‘few Jews were left in Germany or the Low
Countries.’”[4]

The Jews also suffered as direct victims of the Black
Death, of course, but the enraged Christians who thought they were defending
themselves by exterminating the Jews did not stop to ask themselves why the
Jews would poison themselves. Later, neither would Europeans in the twentieth
century stop to examine the absurdities in TheProtocols of Zion.
The general similarities between the two cases are so striking that it is
impossible not to see a causal chain at work: one accusation lays the ground
for the next.

Even by the standards of the time, the Black Death
accusations against the Jewish people were spectacularly absurd. Consider
only that “About half of Norway’s population died when the Black Death (a
plague epidemic) struck in 1349-50,”[5]so Norway suffered about as badly as England did.[6]And yet it should have been obvious to everybody that
‘the Jews’ had no opportunity to poison wells in Norway.

“Norwegians
converted from paganism to Christianity in the course of nearly 100 years,
largely as a result of coercive measures. In the year 1000, all
non-Christians were banned from Norway in an effort to institutionalize
Christianity as the national religion. Although the ban was presumably
targeted at pagan adherents, it also put Norway out of bounds for Jews for
over 800 years.”[7]

There were no Jews in Norway in 1349.

So this raises the question: Even if European
Christians hated the Jews, still, how could they defy all logic to
believe anything so ridiculous as the accusation that the Jewish people were
responsible for the Black Death? Simple: ‘the Jews’ were supposed to be
powerfully, and even supernaturally, ‘evil.’ After all, weren’t Christians
hearing from their religious authorities every Sunday that ‘the Jews’ had
killed God? If they were capable of that, then what wouldn’t -- and
what couldn’t -- ‘the Jews’ do?

That first and most dramatic accusation (‘deicide,’
the killing of God), which appears in the canonical gospels, is false.
Whether or not you believe that Jesus of Nazareth was God incarnate, the
historical fact is that Jesus was executed by the Romans, something
that even the gospels make clear. Of course, the gospels represent the Roman
governor in Judea, Pontius Pilate, as reluctantly executing Jesus because he
was threatened by ‘the Jews,’ who angrily demanded Jesus’ crucifixion. But
there are several reasons why that particular claim is absurd.

First of all, the Jewish people were one of the
largest populations in the Roman Empire, and they were spread out all over
the Mediterranean and beyond.[8]More than
99.99% of the Jewish population, therefore, simply could not be present at
Jesus’ execution. The only people who could have been there were a small
fraction of the Jerusalem Jews. So it is impossible that ‘the Jews’ -- as a
people -- killed God even if we assume that Jesus was God incarnate and that
the account in the gospels is reasonably historical.

But we cannot assume that the passion account in the
gospels is reasonably historical. All the ancient documents we have making
reference to Pontius Pilate, outside of the gospels, are consistent: Pontius
Pilate was a monster who executed Jews for fun, and who delighted in
provoking them.[9]He hardly
needed to be threatened by an angry mob in order to execute a Jew who made
trouble for Rome.

And Jesus made trouble for Rome.

“All the High Priests [of the Jerusalem Temple] whom
we see in the gospel narratives,” as historian Fergus Millar explains, “were
Roman appointees,” which means the Temple was at this time a center of Roman
collaboration.[10]The Romans
naturally needed to prop up the prestige of the Temple against the
intellectual and physical attacks of Jewish revolutionaries, the better to
wield the Temple’s authority for Rome’s benefit. Therefore, if Jesus was
arrested for causing a commotion in the Temple, as the gospels assert,
then Jesus was making trouble for Rome; Pilate, who enjoyed killing Jews
anyway, cannot have been reluctant to execute Jesus.

Finally, consider that crucifixion was a sacrilege
to the Jews, and a symbol of the oppression of the Romans against them, which
was extreme. Why would a Jewish mob demand the crucifixion of a fellow Jew?
Here, for context, is another passage from James Carroll’s history of Western
antisemitism:

“In the year 4
BCE, which also happened to be the year of Jesus’ birth, Herod the Great
died. His death left a temporary power vacuum, which caused violent outbreaks
among forces loyal to various pretenders to succeed Herod as Rome’s client
king and among the followers of messianic movements who sought to seize an
opening against Rome. The Romans smashed every rebellion and, with those
legions pouncing from Syria, restored direct imperial rule. As summed up by
the scholars Richard Horsely and Neil Asher Silberman: ‘The Roman armies
swept through many of the towns and villages of the country, raping, killing
and destroying nearly everything in sight. In Galilee, all centers of
rebellion were brutally suppressed; the rebel-held town of Sepphoris was
burned to the ground, and all its surviving inhabitants were sold into
slavery.’ Thousands of Jews were killed. Villages in Galilee were laid waste.
In Jerusalem where rebels had briefly taken charge, the Romans showed the
lengths to which they were prepared to go to maintain control by swiftly
executing anyone even suspected of collusion with the rebellion -- Josephus
puts the number at two thousand. The Roman means of execution, of course, was
crucifixion, and Josephus makes the point that indeed the victims were
crucified. This means that just outside the wall of the Jewish capital,
crosses were erected -- not three lonely crosses on a hill, as in the tidy
Christian imagination, but perhaps two thousand in close proximity. On each
was hung a Jew, and each Jew was left to die over several days of
suffocation, as muscles gave out so that the victim could no longer hold
himself erect enough to catch a breath. And once squeezed free of life, the
corpses were left on their crosses to be eaten by buzzards.”[11]

Believing that an angry Jewish mob in first-century
Judea demanded of Pontius Pilate that Jesus be crucified is exactly like
believing that an angry Jewish mob in twentieth-century Germany demanded of
Adolf Hitler that a controversial rabbi be sent to Auschwitz. This is not
even remotely plausible, no matter what controversy had been sparked by the
rabbi.

The accusation that ‘the Jews’ had killed God, once
much of the eastern Mediterranean had begun to convert to Christianity,
helped the Romans carry out an anti-Jewish extermination in the first and
second centuries that can only be compared to the Nazi Final Solution, and
which may have outdone it in relative terms. James Carroll writes:

“. . .in the
climactic war of 66-73 CE [the first ‘Jewish War’], . . .Jerusalem was laid
waste and hundreds of thousands of Jews were killed (Josephus and Tacitus put
the number of Jewish dead in this first war at around 600,000; in the second
‘Jewish War’ sixty years later, the tally for Jewish victims is put at
850,000). . . [T]he vast number of victims were killed without the mechanized
methods that make modern warfare so lethal, which is why analogies between
Rome and the worst of twentieth century dictators [i.e. Adolf Hitler] may not
be misplaced here. …if the [Roman] legions had had machine guns, bombs,
railroads, and gas at their disposal, who is to say that any Jew would have
survived the second century?”[12]

That looks bad enough, but in fact Carroll neglects
to mention the ‘Diaspora Revolt,’ a genocidal installment that took place
between the two ‘Jewish Wars’: “Historians estimate that many hundreds of
thousands of Jews were killed by the Romans and Greeks during the ‘Diaspora
Revolt’ of 115-17 CE.”[13]The sum
total is that the pattern of absurd accusations followed by anti-Jewish
exterminations began early, some two thousand years ago. Each accusation has
made the next one seem plausible.

A cultural inertia.

Now, since there have been anti-Jewish massacres in
Europe for a long time, and since, in modern times, they have been preceded
by absurd accusations of super-powerful Jewish conspiracies, one would expect
modern, educated people to be ready to identify the next such absurd
accusation. Worryingly, they are not.

Today the world is awash with the twin rumors that
Israel supposedly controls the lone superpower’s hated foreign policy, and
that ‘the Jews’ supposedly control the mainstream Western media. Few people
seem to think that there is anything too alarming in such beliefs, despite
their having the same basic structure as the Black Death accusation which led
to anti-Jewish exterminations in the fourteenth century, and despite being
practically identical to the Protocols of Zion accusations, which led
to anti-Jewish exterminations in the twentieth century. The Jewish people
certainly do not appear to think that they are on the eve of another
catastrophe, just as they also didn’t want to believe the worst prior to the
Nazi genocides in which 5 to 6 million European Jews were annihilated. But
from the historical perspective the current climate shouldbe alarming
in the extreme.

In 2003, Mahathir Mohammed, the former prime
minister of Malaysia, said the following:

“We [Muslims]
are actually very strong. 1.3 billion people [the total Muslim population]
cannot be simply wiped out. The Europeans killed six million Jews out of 12
million. But today the Jews rule this world by proxy. They get others to
fight and die for them.

. . .They
invented and successfully promoted Socialism, Communism, human rights and
democracy so that persecuting them would appear to be wrong, so they may
enjoy equal rights with others. With these they have now gained control of
the most powerful countries and they, this tiny community, have become a
world power. We cannot fight them through brawn alone. We must use our brains
also.”[14]

The ‘evil’ Jews, says Mahathir, invented human
rights and democracy because they thought they had a right to equality with
others, and so that persecuting Jews would appear wrong. Are you following
this argument? Mahathir blames the Jews for inventing human rights
and democracy.

Mahathir is a fascist.

Mahathir obviously agrees that in the past the
Jewish people have been persecuted and did not enjoy equal rights (which he
defends). This means that, in his view, ‘the Jews’ were not controlling the
world when “Europeans killed six million Jews out of 12 million.” But
according to Mahathir matters are different today, for ‘the Jews,’ he says,
“have now gained control of the most powerful countries and they, this tiny community,
have become a world power.” And ‘the Jews’ are going to use this secret world
power to do…what? Why, to wipe out the Muslims, says Mahathir! But Muslims
shouldn’t just stand still and wait for this to happen: “We are actually very
strong. 1.3 billion people cannot be simply wiped out. . .”

The above are just two excerpts from a speech in
which Mahathir hammered away at the same point in a million different ways:
‘The super-powerful Jews are out to get us, and we need to defend ourselves before
it is too late.’ The speech opened the 10th Organization of the Islamic
Conference Summit, attended by every Muslim head of state in the world.

Mahathir got a standing ovation.

This is clearly designed to whip up hysterical fear
of the Jews, just as Adolf Hitler’s identical accusations also were, with
disastrous results. And Mahathir’s effort is not an isolated one. The old
Tsarist hoax, TheProtocols of Zion,is a bestseller in
the Muslim world (and elsewhere) today. Consider only that state-owned
Egyptian TV recently created a 40-part series entitled Horseman Without a
Horse that has been viewed all over the world, and which is a
dramatization of TheProtocols of Zion.[15]And yet educated people are by and large not rushing to
point out that an imminent anti-Jewish massacre is being prepared by such
high-profile -- and widely agreed upon -- accusations, which are not
radically different from the constant refrain heard in the West: that Israel
and ‘the Jewish lobby’ supposedly control US foreign policy, and that ‘the
Jews’ supposedly control the Western mass media (and all the banks!).

About the climate in the West, consider only what US
presidential candidate Ralph Nader said in 2004, during the presidential
campaign:

“The days when
the chief Israeli puppeteer comes to the United States and meets with the
puppet in the White House and then proceeds to Capitol Hill, where he meets
with hundreds of other puppets, should be replaced.”[16]

Nader is supposedly a leftist, but what he says is
indistinguishable from what the ultra-right-wing neo-Nazi websites write.[17]

It seems, therefore, that we are well on our way to
proving George Santayana correct, once again. If these baseless and
hysterical beliefs are once again allowed to run amok without contest, we are
headed for another catastrophe.

So I will contest them.

I have already traced elsewhere the history of US
foreign policy towards the Jewish people from the 1930s to the present, in
order to demonstrate that this policy has been consistently and radically
anti-Jewish, and continues to be, becoming more anti-Jewish all the time,
contrary to the common belief and to Mahathir’s and Nader’s mouth-foaming
rantings.[18]I have also
documented that the so-called 'Jewish lobby' does not produce pro-Israeli
policies -- in fact, what AIPAC (the most visible organ in the 'Jewish
lobby') does is promote pro-PLO US policies.[19] In
this piece I will document that neither do ‘the Jews’ control the
Western mass media, and that in fact the media goes out of its way to attack
the Jewish people.

The argument
_____________

Before I do anything else, let me lay out two hypotheses
concerning the type of interest that may be behind what gets said in the
Western mass media, and specify what kind of evidence will support one
hypothesis against another.

Hypothesis 1: A
pro-Jewish interest controls the Western mass media.

Hypothesis 2: An
anti-Jewish interest controls the Western mass media.

If the media lies in order to defend the Jews, and
in order to paint the enemies of the Jews unfairly in a bad light, then the
hypothesis of a pro-Jewish interest controlling the media will be
supported. By the same token, to find the media lying in order to attack the
Jews, and in order to paint their enemies unfairly in a good light, will
support the second hypothesis, namely, that an anti-Jewish interest
controls the mass media.

I will not be the first to argue and document that
the Western mass media has an anti-Jewish bias. But the example I will rely
on to make my case will show that the mass media is not merely biased but
consciously duplicitous, thereby providing the strongest possible
demonstration that it is anti-Jewish.

I will look closely at the activities of two people:
Raymond McGovern and Vincent Cannistraro, both of them ‘former CIA
officials.’ I will establish, in this order,

1) that
McGovern and Cannistraro are darlings of the Western mass media, which media
puts them prominently on display;

2) that
any fool with twenty minutes of time can easily demonstrate that McGovern and
Cannistraro are liars who, by the way, used to train terrorists for a living;

3) that
the Western mass media (naturally) knows this about McGovern and
Cannistraro, but it does not share it with the public;

4) that
McGovern and Cannistraro, employing spectacular lies, go out of their way to
attack Israel and defend Israel’s terrorist enemies in the mass media; and

5)
that McGovern’s and Cannistraro’s widely reproduced criticisms of the Bush administration’s
invasion of Iraq are carefully designed to make ‘the Jews’ appear as
supposedly in control of the US government for nefarious ends, producing a
modern version of that old slander, The Protocols of Zion.

Nathans, Benjamin. 2002. Beyond the Pale: The
Jewish encounter with late imperial Russia, University of California
Press, Berkeley, CA. (pp.26-38)

[1]This
footnote contains discussion of two pogroms. The first took place inside the
Russian Empire, where the word 'pogrom' originates, in the town of Kishinev
[Kih-shee-nuh-yev], in 1903, and the events are related by historian Amos
Elon. The second took place in British Mandate 'Palestine,' and the events
are related by Kenneth Levin (who quotes at length the writings of
eye-witness Lieutenant Colonel John Patterson).

KISHINEV:

"On April 19 an outrage occurred in the small
Bessarabian town of Kishinev, which, in less than 48 hours, left 45 local
Jews lying dead, and nearly 600 wounded; 1,500 shops and homes were pillaged
or destroyed. The church bells were ringing on Easter Sunday, when a wild
mob, undoubtedly acting on a given signal, rushed through the narrow streets
killing Jews and setting fire to their homes and stores. In the past few
decades Kishiniev's Christian population of some 60,000 had lived peacefully
alongside 50,000 Jewish artisans and small shopkeepers. The only newspaper in
the town was a sensational anti-Semitic journal, the Bessarabitz,
subsidized by the czarist Ministry of the Interior from a special slush fund.
In recent months the Bessarabitz had waged a vicious campaign against
the Jews of Kishinev, accusing them of ritual murder of Christian babies and
of sponsoring, at the same time, both socialist revolution and the capitalist
exploitation of Christians.

The police made no attempt to interfere in the
widespread killing, looting, and arson. For almost twenty-four hours, while
the army was ordered by the provincial governor to remain in its barracks,
the mob ran amok. Nails were driven into victim's skulls, eyes gouged out,
and babies thrown from higher stories of buildings to the pavement. Men were
castrated, women were raped. The local bishop drove in his carriage through
the crowd, blessing it as he passed. Only on the evening of the second day
did the police appear on the scene to disperse the mob. By then the
devastation had been accomplished. It was generally believed that Konstantin
Pobedenostsev, the Czar's close adviser and head of the Holy Synod, had
inspired the outrage in order to divert popular sentiments from the social
revolutionists.

Pobedenostsev's own solution of the Jewish problem
was known to be three-pronged: a third would convert, a third would emigrate,
and a third would die. It was widely reported that Wenzel von Plehve, the
czarist Minister of the Interior, had instructed the provincial governor of
Kishinev not to be overzealous in his protection of the Jews. At Kishinev the
government was testing a new technique to drown the revolutionary fervor in
Jewish blood. News of the pogrom was suppressed in the Russian newspapers,
which merely stated that there had been a sudden outbreak provoked by the
Jews."

JERUSALEM: The following account of the 1920
anti-Jewish racist riots in Jerusalem is from Kenneth Levin:

"The British, in the [WWI] postwar years, were
attempting to maintain their Middle East territories with very limited forces
and were indeed concerned with minimizing local unrest. But, of course, this
does not account for [British] Mandate [in 'Palestine'] officers working as agents
provocateurs and stirring up anti-Jewish violence or for British
authorities failing to quell Arab riots when they were fully able to do so.
Nor does it explain the [British] Military Administration's preventing local
Jewish units -- elements of the Jewish Battalions -- from coming to the
defense of the Jews of Jerusalem. [The Jewish leader Vladimir Zeev]
Jabotinsky, who tried to organize defense, was arrested by the British and
sentenced to fifteen years' imprisonment. He was soon released by only in the
context of an amnesty extended also to the rioters. The British chose to
construe the Jewish units' attempts to defend the Jews of Jerusalem as an
intolerable breach of military discipline and disbanded the units.

Liuetenant Colonel John Patterson, a non-Jewish
British officer who had commanded the Zion Mule Corps in Gallipolli [a Jewish
force that fought with distinction on the British side during WWI], was
subsequently appointed commander of the 38th Jewish Battalion and led the
battalion in the [WWI] Palestine campaign [during which the British wrested control
of 'Palestine' from the Ottoman Turks]. Patterson wrote extensively of the
anti-Jewish depredations to which his [Jewish] troops, and the Jewish
population of Palestine, were subjected by the British military’s forces in
Palestine under Allenby (the Egyptian Expeditionary Force) and later by the
Military Administration. These depredations emanated both from the command
structure and, in the wake of evident command tolerance, from the rank and
file. With regard to Arab attacks on the Jews in April, 1920, in Jerusalem,
Patterson, referring to the assault as 'the Jerusalem pogrom,' noted the
Military Administration's encouragement of the violence, its failure to
intervene to stop it, its blocking of intervention by Jewish troops, its
attempts to use the Arab assault as an excuse to curb Zionist programs, and
its scapegoating of Jabotinsky.

Patterson wrote, for example, of the events of
April, 1920, 'A veritable 'pogrom,' such as we have hitherto only associated
with Tsarist [Czarist] Russia, took place in the Holy City of Jerusalem in
April, 1920, and as this was the climax to the maladministration of the
Military Authorities, I consider that the facts of the case should be made
public...

'The Balfour Declaration [which gave Britain the
responsibility of establishing a Jewish homeland in British Mandate
'Palestine']...was never allowed [by the Military Administration] to be
officially published within the borders of Palestine; the Hebrew language was
proscribed; there was open discrimination against the Jews; the Jewish
Regiment was at all times kept in the background and treated as a pariah.
This official attitude was interpreted by the hooligan element and interested
schemers in the only possible way, viz., that the military authorities in
Palestine were against the Jews and Zionism, and the conviction began to grow
[within Arab circles] that any act calculated to deal a death blow to Zionist
aspirations would not be unwelcome by those in authority...

'Moreover, this malign influence was sometimes
strengthened by very plain speaking. The Military Governor of an important
town was actually heard to declare...in the presence of British and French
Officers and of Arab waiters, that in case of anti-Jewish riots in his city,
he would remove the garrison and take up his position at a window, where he
could watch, and laugh at, what went on!

'This amazing declaration was reported to the Acting
Chief Administrator, and the Acting Chief Political Officer, but no action
was taken against the Governor. Only one interpretation can be placed on such
leniency.'

Patterson, as quoted in Chapter 5, wrote elsewhere
of the Arab attacks, 'There can be no doubt that it was assumed in some
quarters that when trouble, which had been deliberately encouraged, arose,
the Home Government, embarrassed by a thousand difficulties at its doors,
would agree with the wire-pullers in Palestine, and say to the Jewish people
that the carrying out of the Balfour Declaration, owing to the hostility
displayed by the Arabs, was outside the range of practical politics.'"

The British sponsored it. Then the German Nazis, and the US"; Historical

[2a]“Henry Ford, who was so impressed by the efficient way
meat packers slaughtered and dismantled animals in Chicago, made his own
unique contribution to the slaughter of people in Europe. Not only did he
develop the assembly-line method that Germans used to kill Jews, but he
launched a vicious anti-Semitic campaign that helped make the Holocaust
happen.

In the early 1920s Ford’s weekly newspaper, the
Dearborn Independent, published a series of articles based on the text of the
Protocols of the Elders of Zion, an anti-Semitic tract that had been circulating
in Europe. Ford published a book-length compilation of the articles entitled
The International Jew, which was translated into most of the European
languages and was widely disseminated by anti-Semites, chief among them the
German publisher Theodor Fritsch, an early supporter of Hitler. Thanks to a
well-financed publicity campaign and the prestige of the Ford name, The
International Jew was hugely successful both domestically and
internationally.

The International Jew found its most receptive
audience in Germany where it was known as The Eternal Jew. Ford was
enormously popular in Germany. When his autobiography went on sale there, it
immediately became the country’s number one bestseller. In the early 1920s
The Eternal Jew quickly became the bible of the German anti-Semitism, with
Fritsch’s publishing house printing six editions between 1920 and 1922.

After Ford’s book came to the attention of Hitler in
Munich, he used a shortened version of it in the Nazi propaganda war against
the Jews of Germany. In 1923 a Chicago Tribune correspondent in Germany
reported that Hitler’s organization in Munich was ‘sending out Mr. Ford’s
books by the carload.’ Baldur von Schirach, the leader of the Hitler Youth
movement and the son of an aristocratic German father and American mother,
said at the postwar Nuremberg war crimes trial that he became a convinced
anti-Semite at age seventeen after reading The Eternal Jew. ‘You have no idea
what a great influence this book had on the thinking of German youth. The
younger generation looked with envy to symbols of success and prosperity like
Henry Ford, and if he said the Jews were to blame, why naturally we believed
him.’

Hitler regarded Ford as a comrade-in-arms and kept a
life-sized portrait of him on the wall next to his desk in his office in
Munich. In 1923 when Hitler heard that Ford might run for President of the
United States, he told an American reporter, ‘I wish that I could send some
of my shock troops to Chicago and other big American cities to help in the
elections. We look to Heinrich Ford as the leader of the growing Fascist
movement in America. We have just had his anti-Jewish articles translated and
published. The book is being circulated in millions throughout Germany.’
Hitler praised Ford in Mein Kampf, the only American to be singled out. In
1931, when a Detriot News reporter asked Hitler what Ford’s portrait on the
wall meant to him, Hitler said, ‘I regard Henry Ford as my inspiration.’”

[6]“The
population in England in 1400 was perhaps half what it had been 100 years
earlier; in that country alone, the Black Death certainly caused the
depopulation or total disappearance of about 1,000 villages.”

The Acts of the Apostles (2:5-11) mentions
that Jerusalem was full of “Jews from every nation” who went there on
pilgrimage. Here is the full list found in that text:

. .
.Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea, and
Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphyla, Egypt and the parts of
Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes
[converts], Cretans and Arabs. . .

The first century Alexandrian Jewish philosopher
Philo wrote in his Legatio ad Gaium (281-283) that

“. . .the Holy
City [Jerusalem]. . .is the capital not of the single country of Judea but of
most other countries also, because of the colonies which it has sent out from
time to time to the neighboring lands of Egypt, Phoenicia, and Syria. . ., to
the distant countries of Pamphylia, Cilicia, most of Asia as far as Bithynia
and the remote corners of Pontus, and in the same way to Europe, to Thessaly,
Boetia, Macedonia, Aetolia, Attica, Argos, Corinth, and most of the best
parts of the Peloponnese. It is not only the continents that are full of
Jewish colonies. So are the best known of the islands, Euboea, Cyprus, and
Crete. I say nothing about the regions beyond the Euphrates. With the
exception of a small district, all of them, Babylon and those of the other satrapies
which have fertile land around them, have Jewish settlers. . .in Europe,
Asia, and Libya, in continents and islands, in coastal and inland regions. .
.”

[9]Here’s just
one example from a long list of deliberate provocations by Pilate meant to
give him an excuse to harass and kill Jews. He built an aqueduct in Jerusalem
and appropriated money from the Temple to finance it, despite the fact that
the Temple funds - even from the point of view of Roman law - were sacrosanct.
When an angry crowd gathered to protest this, Pilate was ready for them, and
had “ordered soldiers to dress in plainclothes, conceal their weapons, and
mingle with the people.” When the crowd didn’t disperse he gave the order,
and the mingled soldiers attacked. “Several people were killed, and others
were trampled to death in the stampede that followed.”

the Washington Post article above compared the quote from Nader to this, from
the neo-Nazi National Alliance:

“Bush also
repeated the catch-phrase . . . ‘committed to the security of Israel as a
Jewish state,’ which is repeated almost word-for-word again and again by
Israel's sycophants and Capitol Hill puppets.”
